EBikes & Scooters Are A Great Way To Get Around
Just as electric bikes are growing in popularity every day, their quality continues to improve. EBikes are proving to be efficient, and a great way to get around a campground and city streets. An eBike might be able to take the place of a pull-behind vehicle.
My son and his family lived and worked in Oslo, Norway for several years. That’s my daughter-in-law and grandkids in the photo above. Due to financial and space constraints, owning a car is just out of the question for many city-dwellers, as it was for them. Fortunately, Oslo’s mass transit system is designed so that citizens can ride their eBikes with trailers right onto the the bus or train. Our kids used that eBike for everything. My son loaded a trailer with camping gear, hitched it to his eBike, and off they went on outdoor adventures.
Here in the US, everyone seems to have a car, a camper, or some kind of fuel-powered vehicle. However, we’re seeing a real surge in eBike use, both for everyday transportation and recreational activities. And the great news for wayfarers everywhere: eBikes can work well for nomads and RV travelers. Leave the rig in the campground and head into town. Pack your bikes instead of towing a car. Save money, save fuel, and help save the environment.
The three classes of eBikes
Class 1 and 3 are “pedal-assist bikes”. Designed like a regular bicycle, these bikes require you to pedal to go anywhere, and the motor adds a certain amount of assistance. The motor-assist is a very welcome boost for someone in my age group that need a bit of help with hills and long distances. The harder you pedal, the more assistance the motor gives you.
Different eBike manufacturers and models have different amounts of pedal-assistance. You still get the exercise and health benefits of riding a bike.
Class 2 eBikes actually look more like scooters. The motor can propel the scooter without pedaling. These manage about 28 miles an hour.
EBikes are ECO-Friendly
Because eBikes use an electric motor, they are considered to be a zero-emission vehicle. You’ll be able to leave your fossil-fuel car behind more often. You also have the ability to avoid most traffic using dedicated bike lanes.
You’ll typically get about 40 miles per charge.
Unlike a car, there is no registration or licensing required.
Velowave eBikes have some great models to choose from.
Their PRADO, shown here, is one of the few with a step-through frame. You’ll get 20 to 40 miles per charge, depending on how much pedaling you do. With a powerful 750 watt motor you can reach speeds over 28 MPH.
This puppy has front-hydraulic suspension for a smooth ride. The fat tires makes the ride comfortable, stable, and easy to control. The Shimano 7-Speed drivetrain shifts smoothly, and helps you adjust the riding speed for different road sections and conditions.
Removable and waterproof battery, safe and convenient to bring home to your RV to recharge.
Multifunctional Color Display+Thumb Throttle
Provides power-assist level, battery indicator, riding speed, and mileage data, this thumb throttle helps to better control your riding status, and to achieve better exercise results. Thumb throttle controls are also generally considered to be a safer option, especially for inexperienced riders.

Off-Road EBikes Can Even Go Off-Trail
EBikes are now durable and strong enough for off-road, and even off-trail, travel.
Quiet Kat EBikes will not only get you around the boon-docking campsite, it will take you fishing to that far-off lake, or get you to your hunting zone. It’s super quiet, and you’ll leave no scent trail.
There’s even a trailer to help you pack out your prize. Painted in camo. Includes adjustable coil-suspension, mechanical disc brakes, and an 8-speed drivetrain. The hub-drive motor provides direct power to the rear wheel, independent of the chain. The result is consistent power in all gears.
The QuietKat Ranger weighs just 65 lbs. and can carry 325 lbs. Knowing the rider can still ride without pedaling (in case of injury, for example) by just engaging the throttle is comforting, or even for getting out of a precarious situation in a matter of seconds. The benefits stretch further than riding uphill with ease.
